Most static Web pages include multiple files, such as a file of text and one or more graphics files. File counters are available for each IIS 6.0 service. The counters for the WWW and FTP services count the total number of files that the services send and receive. The counters for the SMTP service tally total messages sent and total messages received, but not total messages sent and received.

Table 6.9 lists the counters for monitoring file and message transfers.
